Lacrosse teams played host to teams from Yorkton, Churchbridge, Kelvington and

Weyburn in a home tournament held on June 3.

“No scores were really kept officially and the teams had a great time being back on the field. The day turned out excellent,” said Kristen Peterson, coach.

The girls lacrosse team played an intramural game against each other as there are no other girls teams in Saskatchewan. The team has 16 members and is coached by Kristen Peterson and Nicole Korpusik.

“The girls have been busy playing hard, learning to play the game and there will be a slot at Provincials in Regina for them to play and showcase the sport.

“It was great to see the fields full of people and a sea of orange (our lacrosse group of players, parents, and fans) at the field,” said Peterson, who is a representative for the Sturgis Lacrosse organization.
